Many people have experienced fever and cramps. Generally speaking, there is no connection between the two. However, in daily life, some people get cramps when they have a fever. So what happens when you have a fever and cramps? What should you do in this situation?

What causes fever and cramps?

Cramps may be caused by the loss of salt in the body. If you don't sweat, you should apply an ice pack and seek medical attention as soon as possible, because high body temperature can damage the nervous system. It may also be caused by a lack of other nutrients. This is because the fever temperature is too high, which needs attention, because each time it occurs, there will be different degrees of brain cell death. It will be fine when it grows bigger, so be careful not to delay treatment if you are sick.

What should I do if I have a fever and cramps?

1. Lying on the side or with the head tilted to one side: Immediately place the patient on his side, with the head tilted back slightly and the lower jaw slightly protruding forward, without a pillow. Or remove the pillow and let the patient lie flat with the head tilted to one side. In this position, the root of the tongue will not block the respiratory tract, and vomiting will not cause suffocation. Do not force-feed the patient with medicine during a convulsion attack, otherwise there is a risk of aspiration pneumonia.

2. Keep the airway open: Unbutton the collar, wrap the tongue depressor or chopsticks with soft cloth or handkerchief and place them between the upper and lower molars to prevent biting the tongue. At the same time, use hand silk or gauze to promptly clean the secretions in the patient's mouth and nose to keep the airway open.

3. Control convulsions: Use your fingers to pinch and press the patient's Ren Zhong, Hegu, Neiguan and other acupoints for two or three minutes, and keep the surrounding environment quiet, move the patient as little as possible, and reduce unnecessary stimulation.

4. Lower body temperature: Place cold towels on the patient's forehead, palms, and thighs, and change them frequently; keep the towel temperature not too high, or put cold or ice water in a hot water bag, wrap it with a towel, and place it on the patient's head, neck, and thighs. Rub with 50% alcohol to make the skin red where the great veins run, such as the neck, underarms on both sides, elbows, groins, and groins, which is conducive to heat dissipation.
